It’s a big game for…

Mathieu Flamini: The midfielder is looking to revive his Arsenal prospects, in spite of recent criticism from former players. The Frenchman was part of Arsene Wenger’s side ten years ago, when the Gunners lost to Barcelona at the Stade de France in the 2006 Champions League final. Perhaps here, Flamini can justify his selection by helping Arsenal cling on to Champions League status.

Best stat…

3: Arsenal have lost all three of their previous encounters with Olympiakos at the Karaiskakis; the Greek side hold a 6-2 aggregate lead over the Gunners on home soil.

Remember when…

Konstantinos Mitroglou scored a cracking winner in the sides’ 2012 meeting in the Greek capital. Arsenal squandered an opportunity to top Group B, falling to this 73rd minute strike…

Player to watch…

Mesut Özil: As well as four goals of his own this season, the German midfielder has assisted more goals than other player in Europe. Özil pulled the strings when Arsenal scored three without reply against Dinamo Zagreb at the Emirates in November but, without Alexis Sanchez, finding the breakthrough against Olympiakos may prove more difficult.
